66: 5 Keys To Help You Make Decisions

May 27, 2019

Studies show that adults make approximately 35 000 decisions a day. That’s 1,050,000 decisions a month and 12,755,000 decisions in a year!!!  No wonder so many of us are suffering from decision-fatigue! In Episode 66, Daniel and Christina discuss 5 keys to help you make both life-altering and everyday decisions.

In This Episode, You Will Hear About:

  • Why decision-making can be so difficult
  • Keys to help you make your next decision

Resources Mentioned During the Episode:

  • The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life’s Decisions by Emily P. Freeman
  • Check out Episode 51: The Perfect Gift for Every Enneagram Type with Dr. Drew Moser for an insightful and entertaining introduction to the Enneagram

Quotables:

  • “Decision making is a privilege.”
  • “We GET to make the decision, not HAVE to make the decision.”
  • “People make decisions differently.”
  • “Do the next right thing.” @emilypfreeman
  • “There is power in naming the unmade things. This is an important part of our decision-making practice and the key to taking our next right step in love. Remember today is a plot point. See it honestly for what it is, but don’t confuse the moment for the whole story.” – @emilypfreeman
  • “Waiting is a good decision too.”
  • “When we live our lives quick, hurried, and hustled, we are prone to linear categorization. But, that’s the way of robots, not humans. Our hard decisions become our speed bumps and thank God for that. Decisions are his way of saying I love you.” @emilypfreeman
  • “Our choices shape our lives, and they shape us. But we remain in God’s hand no matter what.” @emilypfreeman
  • “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path.” – Psalm 119:105

The Role of Numbing Behaviors 🤔🫨

Ever wonder why we turn to quick fixes when we’re stressed or exhausted? In Episode 197 of the IMbetween Podcast, @chris3janssen explains that numbing behaviors like reaching for sugary treats or alcohol provide immediate relief but often at a significant cost. 

We discuss a powerful exercise from her book, “Grace Yourself,” that helps individuals evaluate these numbing patterns and consider healthier alternatives. It’s about gaining awareness and making intentional choices to support our well-being.

V started high school today, A entered her last year of middle school, and M began his last year of elementary. Not sure how we have kids this old @danielsangi 😂

Luna was sad to be home all alone after a summer full of cuddles from the kids.
